... Aaaaand we're back!
After four years of soul-searching in the wilderness of cyberspace, the GAA diary has returned - refreshed, reinvigorated, rehabilitated and generally rarin' to go.

I'd like to welcome back my two loyal readers from the previous incarnation of the blog, we've been through a lot the last four years. Ireland is a different place now - you have to pay twice to flush the jacks, we have bounced back from the depths of economic depression, and soon gay couples will be forced to get married in the spirit of equality.

What does this year's football championship have in store for us?
Can a new team break through to dine at the top table with Dublin, Kerry, Donegal and possibly Mayo?
(Please don't suggest Cork - full disclosure: I'm a Corkman. We'll talk plenty about Cork in due course.)

Will the Ulster Championship bring us the first scoreless draw in living memory?
Can Galway or Roscommon break through in Connaught?
Could the combined 'Rest of Leinster' team keep the ball kicked out to Dublin?
Can Tipperary take a giant step forward in Munster?
Can one of Cork's 12 defenders lay a hand on an opposition forward?

All will be revealed ladies and gents, plus we get to poke fun at the coverage of RTE and Sky along the way...What's not to like?

Tune in each and every Monday morning for the latest reports, and adjust your dumping schedules accordingly.
